Advantages of EPDM Rubber Belts

The main advantages of EPDM rubber belts include its superior resistance to oxidation, ozone and high temperature, as well as good corrosion resistance. EPDM rubber, also known as ethylene propylene diene rubber, is widely used in many fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Its main advantages include:

Excellent aging resistance: EPDM can resist a variety of aging factors such as weather, ozone, sunlight, heat, water, water vapor, ultraviolet rays, radiation, etc. When used in combination with other unsaturated diene rubbers such as NR, SBR, BR, NBR, and CR, EPDM can act as a polymer antioxidant or anti-aging agent.

Excellent chemical resistance: EPDM has good resistance to acids, alkalis, detergents, animal and vegetable oils, alcohols, ketones, etc., and is also very resistant to water, superheated water, water vapor and polar oils.

Excellent insulation properties: EPDM has high volume resistivity and good breakdown voltage, and its dielectric constant is also excellent, which makes it important in the field of electrical insulation.

‌Wide applicable temperature range‌: EPDM has a very wide operating temperature range, from extremely low -40 to -60℃ to long-term use at 130℃, showing excellent stability‌.

These advantages make EPDM rubber belts widely used in many fields such as automotive parts, building waterproof materials, wire and cable sheaths, heat-resistant hoses, tapes, automotive seals, etc.‌
